Richardson/Dombrowki Case No, 96D 217 Elied by Eas Pag 2Room 235, Richard Bolling Federal Building
601 E 12 st.
Kansas City, Missouri 64106
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Ralph Raposa. I ama Federal Employee of the Department of Health and
Human Services. My offices are located at CMS, Room 225, Richard Bolling Federal
Office Building, 601 B. 12 St. Kansas City Mo. I also serve on my agency's
Domestic Violence workgroup, and have been involved with battered women and
abused children for 25 years.
on the weekends of January 17,2004 and January 30,2004, Claudine and Rikki
Dombrowski were my guests at my home. From the time they arrived on Friday
afternoon January 17, 2004, and until they left on Tuesday morning, January 20,
2004, and again, from Friday afternoon January 30 to Tuesday, February 3, 2004,
T spent virtually all of my time with both Rikki and her mother, as well as did
my own ten year old son.
There was never any discussion that I heard between anyone to suggest that
arrangenents were being made to harm Riki's father by BACA or by anyone else.
In fact, I was the one who suggested Rikki and her Mom meet with BACA since
Rikki was interested in the global issue of child abuse, and her mother was a
motorcycle enthusiast. I am not a member of BACA, but was aware of their
existence through my other Domestic Violence interests.
I£ I may be so bold as to opine on this motion, based on some 25 years
‘experience working with battered women and abused children, and while I am not a
clinician, my experience and the evidence convinces me that we are dealing in
the instant case with a classic case of utilization of the legal system as a
method of intimidation by the father. As such, and not withstanding that
perspective, I see nothing presented in this motion that carries any probative
value of a connection with the mother with any of the allegations, other than
Claudine admits she owes the monies cited in current Case managers
Recommendations of $112.50, and is submitting a check to resolve that matter.
Otherwise, none of the case manager's recommendations, in my view, is based on
objective evidence of such probative value that the drastic measures being
proposed have any merit. In fact, it appears most of the evidence consists of
interpretations and baseless allegations by the father rather than hard,
material evidence. Mr. Richardson himself could have delivered his own threat
letter as easily as anyone else. I trust the envelope and post mark have been
analyzed for place of origin. With internet technology and free speech being
what it is, there is a plethora of possible sources of this letter.
BACA is a completely independent and fully sanctioned non-profit organization
that educates the general public on child abuse matters, as well as making
interventions on behalf of the custodial parent where such interventions are
both legal and warranted. They work with local community organizations and local
social service agencies. Nothing suggests in my review of the alleged “threat
letter” that the so-called threat came from BACA, or anyone else affiliated with
Ms. Dombrowski. To sever her ties with her daughter based on such shoddyevidence serves no useful purpose, other than to foster the personal ongoing
agenda of control and intimidation by Mr. Richardson against Ms. Dombrowski, in
my view. I recognize Mr. Richardson is the custodial parent in this case, but I
think any review of the evidence and history of this case speaks for itself.
I am happy to be deposed or offer any testimony the courts find material. Feel
free to call my office at (816) 426-6546.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph Raposa

On February 28, 2005, I spoke with Rikki's therapist, Dr. Rodeheffer, sbout Rikic and
about his recommendations regarding the use of the Safe Visit Program. Dr. Rodehoffor
indicated to me that be had recently mot with Rildei and that thoy disvunsedl hes visits with ber

canses her unnecessary stress,

utilize this seavive so that Rikki can continue to benefit from the structure provided and in time

RE: Richardson v. Dombrowski
Case No. 96 D217
LETTER DECISION
Dear Ms. Dombrowski and Mr. Hoffinan:
Court Services has completed the investigation ordered in this case pursuant 10
KS.A. 60-1615. During her investigation, Amanda Smith reviewed numerous
documents, obtained records from several sources and conducted multiple interviews,
cifically, Ms. Smith spoke to the child’s third grade teacher, the Principal at
‘Tecumseh North Elementary School, representatives of the Girl Scouts, including Vieki
‘Ash, and Dr, David Rodeheffer.
At the Court’s direction, Ms, Smith also conducted an unscheduled interview with
‘the minor child in order to receive her input regarding the various events which led to the
‘Case Manager's recommendation for supervised parenting time. Pursuant to K.S.A. 60-
1615(c), Ms. Smith has prepared a written report which has been presented to the Court
It should be noted that the report does not contain any recommendations but simply a
summary of the investigation,Richardson v. Dombrowski
Case No, 96 D217
Under the circumstances presented in this ease, the Court does not believe that
release of Ms, Smith’s report would be in the best interest of the minor child. If the Court
‘were to release the report to one party, it would need to disclose the report tothe other
party in the interests of firmness. However, as more fully discussed below, the Cour is
‘appointing a Guardian Ad Litem to serve in tis case and she willbe permitted to review
‘the repors in her positon as an advocate forthe best interests ofthe child
‘Turning to Dr. William Albot’s request to be released from further court-ordered
“duties in this ease, the Court finds that his request should be and itis hereby granted. The
‘Court thanks him for is service. Likewise, Dr. David Rodehefferis hereby released
from further court-ordered duties inthis ease. The Court also appreciates his service.
‘Moreover, Amanda Smith is hereby released from further investigatory duties in this ease
‘and the Court thanks her for her service.
1 should be noted that Division 12 has been advised that it will no longer be
handling aay domestic cases once a new judge is appointed to replace the Honorable
James M. Macnish, fa the near futur, this case willbe transferred to one of the four (4)
{judges in the newly established Family Law Department. In fac, this Division has
‘already been assigned all of Judge Macnish’s civil cases as well ns numerous civil eases,
from other Divisions. Thus, tho amount of time which this Court will have #9 spend on
‘any particular case will be extremely limited over the next couple of months.
Inan attempt to determine what, ifanything, this Court could do to help the minor
child, it has reviewed the entire cout fle. Te review reveals that there have been many
juges and attomeys involved in this ese prior o this Court being assigned this ease as
zesult of Judge Schmidt's recusal in July of 2003. Unfortunately, ithe lengthy history of
this case serves a a guide, there will likely be several more judges and atomeys involved
‘efor the child eaches the age of majority. ‘There is one thing, however, which appears
tohave been missing inthis voluminous file, Although there has been a great deal of
zealous advocacy fo both parents over the years, nobody has served as an advocate on
behalf of the
Notwithstanding the substantial disputes between the parties, it appears that they
bath recognize the nced for someone to serve as an advocate for their daughter. ‘The
Court notes thatthe Petitioner's attorney stated in his April 27th letter to the Case
Manager that “[iJt seems to me that itis Rikki who is being let down by all of us in
positions of responsibility in this case.” Similarly, the Court notes in Dr. Rodeheffer’s
record for March 25, 2004, thatthe Respondent told him that “nobody is advocating for
‘my daughter..." Unfortunately, these statements appear to be accurate.Richardson v, Dombrowski
Case No. 96 D 217
Although a Case Manager attempts to make decisions which are inthe best
interests of a minor child, he or she is not an advocate for the child. Likewise, although a
judge must attempt to determine what isin the best interests of a minor child, he or she is
not an advocate for the child, Moreover, the primary duty of attomeys representing
patents in a divorce action is not to serve as an advocate for the children of ther clients,
‘Thus, the Court believes itis appropriate in this ease to appoint a Guardian Ad Litem
whose only duty will be to advocate for the best interests of the minor child,
The Court hereby appoints Jill Dykes to serve as Guardian Ad Litem in this case.
Ms. Dykes is an experienced attomey and also an experienced Guardian Ad Litem. Fier
role in this case shall be as set forth in Kansas Supreme Court Administrative Order No.
100 (2003). (A copy is enclosed and incorporated herein by reference.) The Court
hhateby ovdets that Shawnee County advance the Guardian Ad Litem’s initial fee of $225,
‘Any additional fees and expenses by the Guardian Ad Litem will be assessed ata later
date,
‘The Guardian Ad Litem, as an advocate for the minor child’s best interest, shall
have access to all reports, records or other information concerning this ease. Since
‘Administrative Order No. 100 states that “[cJontinuing investigation and ongoing contact
‘with the child arc mandatory,” the appointment of a Guardian Ad Litem should also bring
‘a degree of continuity to this case which appears to have been lacking. The Court
anticipates that once the Guardian Ad Litem has become familiar with this case that she
‘will be advocating for a long-term Parenting Plan which is truly in the best interests of the
child.
As far as Case Management is concerned, the Court will yield to the judge t0
‘whom this case is reassigned. That judge should be the one to decide whether he or she
believes the continued assistance of a Case Manager would be helpful. ifso, hat judge
Should also be the one (o deteruuine wheter the eairent Case Manager should continue in
that position or ifa replacement should be named. Regardless, it should be noted that this
Court has found Mr. Swartz’s assistance as a Case Manager to be helpful in an extremely
difficult case and it thanks him for his service.
‘The Court notes that inthe Petitioner's most recent motion she states that she has
fot seen her daughter fora long period of time. Although itis recognized that there were
problems related to the parenting time which was to be supervised by Dr. Rodehefer, this
Court has never prohibited the Petitioner from seeing her child. In fact, the Petitioner is
strongly encouraged to spend time with her daughter.Richardson v. Dombrowski
Case No, 96 D217
If there isa problem with the parties utilizing the services ofthe YMCA Saf Visit
‘acilty in Topeka, the Guardian Ad Litem may wish to consider utilizing The Farm in
Lawrence for supervised parenting time on a temporary basis and perhaps for monitored
‘exchanges in the future. This appears be a reasonable altemative since the Petitioner
lives in Kansas City and the Respondent lives inthe eastem part of Shawnee County.
Regardless, the Guardian Ad Litem should approach ths issue, as well as any other
Which may be presented inthis ease, from the perspective of what is in the best interests
of the child rather than from the perspective of what is best for the parents.
“The Court sincerely hopes that unsupervised parenting time can and will be
reinstated at some point in the foreseeable future. Rarely i ever, should supervised
parenting time to be considered to be a long-term solution in a divorce ease. However,
‘the Court does not find it to be in the best interests of the minor child to lift the
requirement of supervision at Us point in time based upon a review of the investigation
report and supporting documents submitted by Amanda Smith of Court Serviees. Inthe
interim, both parties are directed to fully cooperate with the Guardian Ad Litem in order
to develop a parenting plan which is inthe best interests oftheir child
